One of THE most epic songs ever. When you said "Ive never heard anything like it" , very true. When i heard it upon release I had a very similar reaction and it has never faded.
They didn't release a music video until their 4th album, and this was in the hey day of MTV, they got very little to no radioplay, and became a huge band mostly by playing shows and word of mouth, and people trading bootleg recordings of shows.
In my opinion this is the best Metallica song ever written. So impactful and perfectly captures all of the layers and capabilities Metallica is made of. You’ve never heard anything like it because there really isn’t anything like it.
"Johhny Got His Gun". Written by Dalton Trumbo and turned into a movie in '71. This is what "One" is based on. Like "All Quiet on the Western Front" a very powerful anti-war novel. Greatest Metal song of all time.
I am not the bigest metallica fan but this song is one of the greatest songs ever written imo. First heard it on release back in the day and have never tired of it. Every time that intro kicks in the hair on my arms and neck stand to attention, every single time.
The movie is "Johnny Got His Gun". It's a tragic story. The soldier got hit by an artillery shell. He lost both arms, both legs, his eyes, his hearing and his lower jaw and tongue. He was blind, deaf, mute and completely immobile. He was alone in his own mind. Trapped in a non functional body. A universe of "one". The doctors thought he was brain dead so they kept him alive for experiments. They were horrified to find out he was conscious and in pain so they hid him away from the world. By the way, yes, the drums emulate morse code. Dot dot dot dash dash dash dot dot dot. SOS (help).
I’ll never forgive Lars and James for nerfing Jason’s bass on this album but this is the song that got me hooked to Metallica. This song is a timeless classic
The movie is called Johnny Got His Gun, It’s also a book. I suggest reading the book before seeing the movie, because there are parts of the movie that are very off the wall and without reading the book you will kind of be lost on what is going on, the book explains it so clearly.
Remarkable band. You should pull up lyrics when listening the first time. James Hetfield, the lead singer is a really good writer as well. Next up… Master of Puppets. An anti-drug song. Or Creeping death. Which he wrote after watching the movie, The Ten Commandments.
If you want your Channel to Blow up go down this Metallica Rabbit Hole we are the most loyal fans there Are First show was on the justice tour only seen them 11 times need more 🤘🇺🇲🇺🇲🤘
So this is about a old movie called Johnny got his Gun.. a boy decides to join the army and in battle he steps on a landmine that leaves him Deaf, Blind and Mute he also has no arms and no legs.. He doesn't know if he is awake or asleep because in his condition it's nothing but darkness and silence.. If you go back to the live and a couple other videos I actually left messages trying to give you the heads up.. but I know it's impossible to see all comments.. I didn't really know how else to try to tell you.. your reactions were great.. but much like most reactions it's so much to take in at once.. your stuck between enjoying the music or figuring out the movie.. that's why I was trying to tell you ahead of times.. unfortunately I didn't think of the heads up till after I had placed the request.. not your fault..its just my ignorance of how this stuff works.. hence the name problem.. 😂😂😂 glad you enjoyed it anyway.. and sadly I'm not sure about the Morse code question.. that would be interesting to find out but I don't know if it was or not.. but that is a great question and if it is.. well then yeah that would be a hell of a catch.. Well done guys hope you enjoyed it. Take care and God Bless
It may be worth while to on your own give it another watch as you'll probably catch a few more things. Like the general tells the doctors that this man is not a product of his profession it's something the doctor has done.. for the general does understand there is a dignity in death vs being left in that kind of condition.. of course life is precious but in this case I can understand that living in that condition may be worse than death.. if he had sight or hearing or could speak maybe one could adapt even with no arms or legs.. but with all your senses gone.. are you really ALIVE?
If I had thought of it when I placed the request it would have worked.. I have seen many reactions to this one and it's always they either get caught up in the music and miss everything on the video.. or they just are kinda confused throughout and miss the music part.. You guys did better than most.. but im sure in the rewatch it will actually be better. You guys are great.. keep up the great reactions. Curious if you are familiar with Bob Dylan.. a little slower pace than most of what you all react to.. but I think there are some that's lyrics you'll enjoy too.
OH MY GOD I AM SSOOO GLAD THAT YOU TWO GOT TO SEE THIS MASTERPIECE OF PURE LIFE AND THE EFFECTS THAT LIFE CAN HAVE ON THE HUMAN CONDITION. LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!! ❤️💐💃🫂💯 ✊️👏🤝
Great reaction I see you do all types of music, there's a independent artist named Tom McDonald,no label,makes own beats, his girlfriend shoots all videos # 1 billboard plagues, about everyone of his New videos gets a million views in a day, plus he has a 36 video with the permission for the copyrights for you to post his music in your videos, good luck
morse used a electrical signal that produced a monotone sound for humans to hear and understand. done by breaking the tone up into short blips and longer blips called dots and dashes. repeating dot dot dot dash dash dash dot dot dot is S.O.S. but very clever when you mentioned this during the song. you can fit it into the cadence but sos is done quickly.
James Hetfield (lead singer) got the idea of this song from the ducumentary movie he watched of Dalton Trumbo's 1971 film "Jonhnny Got His Gun" Here is a clip: ua-cam.com/video/5syUOhSNY2M/v-deo.html
Q grande eran .. y q tal con la más tremenda canción de metal de todos los tiempos Metallica en ese tiempo la vara con q se media el metal🤘🏻 .. hoy en nuestro tiempo una banda vendida y pésima 😔
is from a movie..jonny goes to war...your ami ......i hope your not in miletarie...sorry my bad english good reaction.....europa was ever in war 30th war milion dyinging ...napolian usw...wish the best
ALL THE SCENES ARE FROM THE 1971 MOVIE "JOHNNY GOT HIS GUN". AND SONG PRETTY MUCH EXPLAINS THE CONCEPT OF THE MOVIE.IF YOU GOOGLE METALLICA ONE WIKIPEDIA IT EXPLAINS THE AMAZING CONCEPT BEHIND HOW THIS SONG CAME TO BE. SEE YA'SOON 🙏👌👍🏻
One of THE most epic songs ever. When you said "Ive never heard anything like it" , very true. When i heard it upon release I had a very similar reaction and it has never faded.
If I recall correctly, this was their first music video. They were already a huge band with not much mainstream adoption. Kinda like our Sick Boi :-)
@@EarthyBlendPOV ren gill
They didn't release a music video until their 4th album, and this was in the hey day of MTV, they got very little to no radioplay, and became a huge band mostly by playing shows and word of mouth, and people trading bootleg recordings of shows.
@@EarthyBlendPOV you are correct. I watched it when it debuted on MTV. It was all the talk..
In my opinion this is the best Metallica song ever written. So impactful and perfectly captures all of the layers and capabilities Metallica is made of. You’ve never heard anything like it because there really isn’t anything like it.
Every man faces death by himself, Alone.
This song is a staple in their concerts. Nowadays it tends to be played towards the end. I've heard it so many times, but it's still amazing.
THE BEST BAND TO EVER DO IT !!!! METALLICA !!!
@@rmism8248 🔥🤘🏽🔥
So happy beeing a part of this when I grew up! Metallca 7 years of great music with both Dave and Cliff!!! This song is Epic
the first Metal Grammy
"Johhny Got His Gun". Written by Dalton Trumbo and turned into a movie in '71. This is what "One" is based on. Like "All Quiet on the Western Front" a very powerful anti-war novel. Greatest Metal song of all time.
Fade to Black, Master of Puppets, Sanitarium, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Creeping Death
You feel the music just like the words
I am not the bigest metallica fan but this song is one of the greatest songs ever written imo. First heard it on release back in the day and have never tired of it. Every time that intro kicks in the hair on my arms and neck stand to attention, every single time.
Imagine hearing this in 1988 when it was released!! I was in high school and it was mind blowing!!
Honestly can’t imagine it! We don’t even know what the 80’s were like since we were born in late 90’s 😂
Creeping death live Moscow '91

By the way, yes, the drums emulate morse code. Dot dot dot dash dash dash dot dot dot. SOS (help).
SOS in morse is 3 short, 3 long, 3 short. It is a really recognizable pattern to someone that is familiar with morse, especially during the war.
Your question about Morse code was genius. I've been listening to that song for 35 years and never wondered that. Now I kinda do.
I’ll never forgive Lars and James for nerfing Jason’s bass on this album but this is the song that got me hooked to Metallica. This song is a timeless classic
This song was so awesome to experience in the crowd during their live show
The movie is called Johnny Got His Gun, It’s also a book. I suggest reading the book before seeing the movie, because there are parts of the movie that are very off the wall and without reading the book you will kind of be lost on what is going on, the book explains it so clearly.
Yes!!! Thanks finally you did one of my favourite songs... Gives me goosebumps everytime!!
You guys! ❤❤ Just came in on the last of the live stream! Can't wait to listen to this! ❤❤
Remarkable band. You should pull up lyrics when listening the first time. James Hetfield, the lead singer is a really good writer as well. Next up… Master of Puppets. An anti-drug song. Or Creeping death. Which he wrote after watching the movie, The Ten Commandments.
Untouchable classic metal song, in my opinion.
it`s actually about james hetfields childhood ... same with "dyers eve" ..check it out .
this is one of many songs inspired by movies James Hetfield watched, with band mates
GOAT

Sorry we didn’t see your comments! Jasmine noticed it in the editing stage! I’m definitely going to give it another listen soon!

We haven't listened to any Bob Dylan but we've heard the name before, might be worth checking out in the future?
@DoubleTakeJC Haven't listened to Bob Dylan?! .....😂 Oh guys! 😂😂 I'm trying to think of where to start!
OH MY GOD I AM SSOOO GLAD THAT YOU TWO GOT TO SEE THIS MASTERPIECE OF PURE LIFE AND THE EFFECTS THAT LIFE CAN HAVE ON THE HUMAN CONDITION. LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!! ❤️💐💃🫂💯 ✊️👏🤝

#HangOverGang4EVER
I felt sorry for your little dog! It was like wtf! 😯👍🏻
Fade to Black may be the best thing ever composed. You must give it a listen even if your not into heavy music.
Thanks Tsam !
Morse Code? Imo with syncopated guitar and drums, I hear machine gun fire.
We doing throw backs now???? Do Rainbow "Stargazer". Ronnie James Dio is a legend in metal!!!!
More metallica reaction please

S.O.S would be 3 short taps, 3 longer taps and the 3 short taps again. ...---...
Puppy!😂😂😂
Always heartbreaking…
